Natao arisiva ity resaka mitohy ity. Mametraha fanontaniana azafady raha mila fanampiana.

Firefox won't prompt me to save my passwords. There are no exceptions and "remember passwords for sites is on". Password saver doesn't help.

I have checked to make sure that there are no "exceptions" and that "remember passwords for sites" is checked. I had downloaded Password Saver but it still didn't prompt for saving it. I am running a Windows 7 laptop with Firefox 3.6.12

EDIT: I have also been lead to believe that I am not in private browsing mode.

  • Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
  • In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like saving new passwords are disabled
  • You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

I do not think that I am in private browsing mode. There is not a note in the top blue bar indicating that I am, and under Tools, the "Stop Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P" option is grayed so I can't chose it. I also cannot use the keyboard shortcut that it indicates. All of these factors lead me to believe that I am not in private browsing mode.
